You're probably familiar with this document:
http://www.icann.org/gnso/whois-tf/report-19feb03.htm
There's an interesting minority report at the bottom.
Actually I have never seen the original report, only portions of it. Thank
you for pointing it out. Based on the conversations on the list in the last
few days, especially the objections from Eric, it seems that the WHOIS data
will not useful for stopping spam itself in real time. First of all as Eric
Brunner and Ken Hinkley pointed out, it would be impractical and very hard
for the registrars to actually enforce these rules due to cost, ability to
verify the data, etc. Second, as Ken Hinkley pointed out, it would also be
hard to use the data in real time due to limits on WHOIS queries, etc.
Therefore, it seems that WHOIS data is useful only for tracking down
spammers not spam by ISPs and law enforcement authorities. They can use
this data AS A TOOL, not as an absolutely true source of information but
for real time spam blocking it is not very useful. Privacy provisions
raised in this minority report if implemented will not stop LEA from
accessing the data since it would still be available under subpoenas and
warrants (or ICANN can allow them easy access under the privacy rules).
Nevertheless, I am still standing by my recommendation for stricter
enforcement of WHOIS rules but a balance must be drawn since we do not want
to drive the registrars into bankruptcy or have the overall registration
prices for domains to go up.
